Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Hi,
I've performed several (automatic) installations of virtual machines with Debian 5.0 (lenny) using preseed/url and this line is completely ignored: | d-i netcfg/get_hostname string pro-kd5x01 Instead of setting the hostname to 'pro-kd5x01' it was computed from the reverse DNS entry for the given IP address with 'netcfg/get_ipaddress' parameter. Also, probably the 'netcfg/get_domain' is also ignored but in this case it was the same as in rDNS so it didn't matter. Note that DHCP was disabled during the installation with this d-i key: | netcfg/disable_dhcp=true >From the docs I've read that 'netcfg/get_ipaddress' should only be ignored if these values are given by a DHCP server. However, I don't have a DHCP server in that remote network (thus the use of netcfg/disable_dhcp=true to avoid any interactive communication during install).
